Fourth of July hadn't meant anything to him until he got here. They used to be much less hectic, with much less fanfare, back when he was newly arrived on American soil and even when he'd first met Cat. Over the years it had become more and more of a family thing, and now every year they were hauling out the barbeque grill out near the pool and burning slabs of meat.
There was a tall stool taken from the kitchen placed near the grill. Ned had carried Bran to sit on it so he could reach everything they were cooking with his tongs. Cat and Sansa were likely somewhere planning their non-meat conspiracy and it sounded like someone was in the pool.
Ned stayed next to Bran at the grill. He'd been troubled since Lya arrived on his doorstep - she's alive, thank God she's alive, but he felt at once chuffed to bits and miffed at her not telling him anything all these years - and now things would get complicated with Jon and Cat, and the rest of the kids too.
It was all too much for what was meant to be a relaxed summer day, so despite the smiles he could manage and his occasional banter with Bran, he was quieter and more reserved than usual.
